Hubby made a study table for our son and daughter. The table top is made out of Balau wood and it sits on top of pedestal. You can check out this site for more information about Balau wood at

For our son's study table, the wood was sanded down, treated and varnished. For our daughter's study table, she did not want the table top to be varnished, she wanted it natural so we left it as it is, but it was sanded down and treated as well.
Due to budget constrains, we purchased 2nd hand pedestals from Kedai Kaki Lelong (www.kkltrading.com/) and fixed the table top on top of the pedestal for our son. Since then, we have made several trips back to the same shop to look for the pedestal for our daughter and were not successful as either the height was not right or the pedestal had some defects. In the end, we managed to find only one pedestal and substitute the other pedestal by purchasing a metal table leg.
